					<description><![CDATA[A key budget committee met for the second time on Sunday and hashed out previously unresolved conflicts on education funding, including some $700 million in cash and bonding for construction for K-12 and higher education institutions. The inclusion of money from bonds is something Gov. Rick Scott &#8211; a budget hawk who loathes debt &#8211; opposes.  But Conference Committee Chair Rep. Richard Corcoran said it just makes sense. &#8220;Any time you have rates that are this low, you&#8217;re getting money for much cheaper, &#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Legislative budget writers moved the needle during their second conference meeting Saturday night, narrowing the discrepancies between House and Senate proposals to just $3.5 million dollars, about 0.1 percent of the $4.1 billion proposed criminal and civil justice budget. This time it was the Senate&#8217;s turn to make an offer, and committee Vice Chairman Sen. Joe Negron took the House&#8217;s position on a number of priorities and modified its position on several others.

					<description><![CDATA[House and Senate budget writers met Friday night to organize the 2016 Budget Conference process. They plan to meet through the weekend as they negotiate how to reconcile the $1 billion gulf between their spending plans as they allocate taxpayers&#8217; money to keep Florida&#8217;s government running.
